Inside My Globe

Life inside my bubble

Music's kinda garbled

Climate stays the same

Everyone knows my name

Life inside my glass

People can't harass

I can be unique

Some would say a freak

Life inside my globe

People cannot probe

They can see my light

Think that I'm all right

Life inside my sphere

No one can get near

No one knows my pain

Or hurts that I contain

Life inside my ball

I am standing tall

I simply cannot fall

And yet I feel so small

Life inside my orb

I cannot absorb

The energy of life

I only know my strife

So if you have a hammer

Save me from this glammer

Kindly break my sphere

For I am drowning here

What I really need

Is simply to be freed

For I have things to share

I have love to spare

I could use a hand

Brushing off the sand

And I could use a friend

To help my heart to mend

Sometimes I see someone who appears to have the perfect life.  Everything seems to work for them.  And they never seem to have any problems.  I always seem to be surprised when I discover that they have disappointments and heartaches in their life.  And there are times that I discover that they are lonely. 

I have learned to hide my feelings and disguise my thoughts.  I have learned to appear strong and calm even when my world seems to be crumbling around me.  As I walk through life being strong and pretending everything is sunshine and roses, I often miss the acts of kindness and thoughtful words of my friends.  When I am so busy walking proud and keeping it together I assume that others are doing fine.  I miss the opportunity to be a friend to someone else. 

Perhaps it is time to put our globes away and reach out to those around us.  Perhaps it is time to walk this path with friends by our side.  Together, hand in hand, we can make the world a better place.  When we walk together, no one stands alone.
